my shrinking diameter seems to come from narrow driving bands, I had 68gr 225 bullets shrink to .218 on me. I will have to check the hardness of my bullets to see if that is a determining factor as...

I think you could get away with using one tumbler, the only place I have remaining powder is at the top of the bowl from splashing.

I came across another problem with softer alloys, I'm losing size due to shot peening on my larger softer bullets (400gr+). My guess if you are going to try this...

So I tested it without the graphite, I let the tumbler run till the boolits were completely dry to the touch. My first try with having some of the "soup" at the bottom left the boolits looking runny...

Hello everyone,
I have read the stickies and quite a few other threads here and seen that most people recommend being at 0.001 to 0.0015 over the bore diameter. However I have read a few users...

theperfessor you should run the fullscan from safe mode, press and/or hold F8 when you start your computer and it should take you to boot option menu where you can select boot to safe mode.

I tried the piglet method just the other day and again this morning before I left for work. Before that I was making jigs and using a HF powdercoating system. I find that I can do more bullets at a...
